Shah Jahan was really a great architect. He was indeed a lover of art. The beautiful strutures built in his period were RedFort and Jama Masjid [I have seen it woh its great engineering]. But did he really built Taj Mahal? It is just a question I had in my mind through many years, I dont have any proof. But going to past where we can see a chinese traveller who visted during the period of Shahjahan didnt mention about huge structure Taj in his biography, intresting. Taj Mahal is the name that came from \"Tejo Mahalaya\" which was under a Rajput king who then ruled Agra province. Shah Jahan who was impressed by that marvel, summoned the Rajput king and ordered him to give his land to him as gift. During those days \"Emperor could do anything if he gets angry\" so the poor king was helpless and submitted his land. Then that marvel was converted to mausoleum [Which is wonder of the world]. What ever may be the reason of that structure, it would have not been so popular, if it would not be a mausoleum. People of other countries remember Taj Mahal when we say INDIA, \"It is really Pride of INDIA\" our nation.
We want it to be worlds most beautiful structure :)
